How to speed up the carz

I don't think that's correct.
traffic-speed
"Applicable to splines which have 'isroad' set. Defines the carz speed limit of the road in meters per second. Carz currently travel at up to 80%-110% (depending on the car) of the speed limit, except when overtaking. This tag does not relate to trains in any way."
The question being asked is; can it be done using a road made by another creator without cloning? My guess is that if road splines accept the use of the "mesh-asset" tag in their mesh tables, then it might be possible to refer to the meshes in the original road spline to create an 'alias' spline asset in which a traffic-speed tag in the config specifies a higher speed. Since the original asset is not copied or modified in any way, it's not cloning. However it would be good etiquette to ask the original creator if it's OK to use their asset like that.
According to the Wiki, splines do support the mesh-asset tag;
"The mesh-table container provides details about the track and end-cap meshes which comprise this asset. Most advanced mesh-table options are not available for use at the current time. The important thing is to specify the meshes. Specifically, the 'mesh' tag should be used to specify an IM file, and the 'mesh-asset' tag can be used to specify an alternative source asset for the mesh."

Sorry pware, you can adjust the traffic speed. Have a look at this example from <kuid:134105:45531> UK ctr line 8m 50 busy traffic

You can add traffic-speed 22.35 to an asset config without having to clone it.

You are all correct. I was looking at the config.txt files for individual carz vehicles, not the road spline itself.
You may find that the author has made several versions of the same road, with different traffic speeds or even no traffic at all... Look for other assets made by the same user.
